Surah Maryam Tafseer

Such is the Paradise which We shall give as an inheritance to those of Our servants who had Taqwa.

This means, `This Paradise that We have described with these magnificent attributes, it is that which We will cause are pious servants to inherit.'

They are those who obey Allah in happiness and times of hardship. They are those who suppress their anger and they pardon people's offenses.

This is as Allah says at the beginning of Surah Al-Mu'minun,

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُوْمِنُونَ

الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى صَلَتِهِمْ خَـشِعُونَ

Successful indeed are the believers. Those who are humble in their Salah. (23:1-2) Until His saying,

أُوْلَـيِكَ هُمُ الْوَرِثُونَ

الَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـلِدُونَ

These are indeed the inheritors. Who shall inherit the Firdaws. In it they shall dwell forever. (23:10-11
